Towing from Wisconsin to Florida for spring break vacation again and just started the planning process. Any thoughts on this area? A couple years back we went to Madeira Beach and had a great time going to Egmont Key. Like the inter coastal type travel (KIDS) and beaching the boat for the day kind of thing. As a family we love exploring and walking on beaches which is why we spent so much time at Egmont. Destin had a cool shallow area they call Crab Island that ton's of boats gravitate to. April waters are still a little chilly at that time of year. Ideas, Thoughts???? Andy

Going to google earth I see groups of boats hanging near Manasota Key. Are there specific Key's in the area your referencing. Further north the better, The drive's long enough.

Looks like just north of Venice Venice east of Roberts bay is a hangout spot??

I figured you wanted to stay as far North as you could, but that time of year I'm not sure how warm it's going to be, as you would expect the further South you come the warmer you'll be, look up Gasspirilla, Boca Grande, Cayo Costa, all nice beach areas.

Spelling sucks.

Hmm, maybe stay in South Venice then??? Be a nice ride to the various spots. Hopefully not full of no wakes.

Not sure what week in April you're going down but the Super Boat race is at Englewood Beach the weekend of April 11-13th. Nice spot at the end of Stump Pass State Park to beach the boat and play. Along with the other State Parks in that area there are plenty of places to hangout and the water that time of year should be nice.
